Re: new user with a question about cursors
Chris Mullins
Hi
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
could you check the settings of the system cursor. If you type 'cursor' into cortana you will see where you can set blink rate and thickness. It may have been altered to values which make it difficult for the screen reader to track. As a guide, my settings are a blink rate of 63 and a thickness of 10. Cheers Chris

State of play with NVDA and Skype
Christopher Bartlett
I have Win 10 (latest build) and am running the most recent beta of NVDA. What is the state of accessibility of Skype with this combo? What if anything do I need to do to make Skype more usable? Which Skype app works best? Chris Bartlett-- Christopher Bartlett

Re: new user with a question about cursors
Gene
That is not correct. You are discussing two
settings for NVDA review settings which have nothing to do with this
problem. The settings you are discussing determine whether review mode
follows the system focus and the system carrot. These settings are in the
review cursor settings found in the preferences menu. No such settings are
in object presentation. Object presentation doesn't affect how NVDA
follows items.
The current problem is that NVDA is not seeing the
cursor when in an application. Such commands as control home don't change
where NVDA is reading when using keys such as up and down arrow keys to
read.

Re: Anniversary windows 10 update
Gene
I believe Joseph Lee who has worked closely on such
issues. I believe my own experience when I go to the site and see what the
procedure is.
I don't know who has been on the
radio but I see no reason to believe that he is correct. Microsoft is not
offering the extension by placing an icon in the system tray of blind computer
users. I haven't seen one message, on three lists, indicating that such an
icon is present.

In the next day or so maybe earlier hopefully I will upload it to my website what is done so far. There is about 3 pages left to edit then upload it in a html format to my website at http://www.accessibilitycentral.netThe page the tutorial will be linked to will be the nvda tutorials for other programs page.
I was not sure how much to put into it it is more to get some one up and running like i did with power point 2010.
I can let you know when it goes up and what it is called. There is about 10 pages or is it more plus shortcuts for power word 1010 and 2013 which will be linked to a dropbox account.

Accessibility of Salesforce with NVDA
Charlie Coyle <charlie.coyle@...>
Hello all,
I hope you don't mind me posting here regarding this. My name is Charlie and I work for Visionary - a charity which connects local sight loss charities in the UK. Our organisation are looking into using Salesforce and we were wondering if you'd be happy to share your knowledge and expertise with us on this software. Please find the questions we were hoping to get answers to below: 1. What version/s of Salesforce have you tested with which version/s of NVDA? 2. What tasks have you undertaken using it? 3. How easy have you found to use it? 4. What training were you offered (if appropriate)? What's your experience of rolling it out to staff? Learning from it? 5. What workarounds (if any) have you needed to use? 6. Was any functionality lost if using NVDA? 7. Is all functionality available using keyboard only? Or with speech control software like Dragon Naturally Speaking? 8. Overall, would you recommend it as a viable solution for access technology users? If so, why? If not, why not? Any help you could give us on this would be very greatly appreciated!

Hi!

I still use Revo Uninstaller, but I have an old version, which still works fine with NVDA. So glad I hit Cancel every time I see that upgrade prompt, now that I've found out the new version of Revo isn't accessible! Sure, it doesn't spot 64-bit programs, but the old version I have still uninstalls 32-bit programs successfully, so I'm sticking with that old version for now. Good to hear there's something similar out there for uninstalling, even if it needs object navigation when used with NVDA! Bye for now! From Clare
